Co-Founder

Company Description BEACON AI is the world’s first Agent Engine Optimization (AEO) platform, built for a world where AI answers, rather than search results, drive brand discovery. The platform measures brand visibility across six major AI systems, providing a composite AI Visibility Score™ that shows how and where a brand appears in AI-driven recommendations. Each audit generates an agent.json file, a structured, machine-readable brand identity that helps AI platforms understand what a brand does and why it is a relevant answer. BEACON AI focuses on mention rate, rank position, sentiment, and cross-platform visibility gaps to help brands become the trusted signal that AI systems navigate toward. The company is positioned at the intersection of AI, marketing, and analytics for brands that want to lead the next decade of discovery.

Day-to-day responsibilities include building and managing key relationships, leading sales conversations with early customers, driving marketing experiments, and creating narratives that explain Agent Engine Optimization to the market. You will collaborate with technical and non-technical partners to prioritize the roadmap, analyze platform data, and identify growth opportunities. This is a full-time, on-site role based in the Greater Bengaluru Area, requiring active presence with the founding team and local ecosystem.
